Research Stories
Edge-breaking research efforts by faculty members from the College of Science (CSCI) contributed in achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
CSCI scholars in collaboration with researchers from the Chinese Mainland, has discovered that liquid crystal monomers from household electronics and electronic waste can bioaccumulate in marine life.
As technology continues its rapid advancement, it has become an integral part of our daily life. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Indra and Harry Banga Gallery of City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) proudly presents its latest exhibition, titled “Prototyping:”
Scientists from CSCI have recently achieved a major breakthrough in the field of photovoltaic technology, successfully developing highly efficient and durable perovskite solar cells (PSCs) suitable for outdoor environments.
Sharing insights on tackling the world's most challenging environmental issues was top of the agenda for researchers and partners from City University of Hong Kong at the Global Sustainable Development Summit (GSDC) 2025 in Istanbul, Türkiye, from 16 to 19 June.
A few years ago, Dr. Chi-on Ng, a graduate of the Department of Chemistry at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK), together with his team, developed a new type of photo-sensor that can effectively monitor oxygen concentration in seawater and reduce the monitoring cost. The team subsequently established a start-up company called “NerOcean”.
With the support of the State Key Laboratory of Marine Pollution, a cross-institutional study involving the Education University of Hong Kong, the City University of Hong Kong, and the University of Hong Kong, has uncovered a promising new method for monitoring radionuclides in the ocean.
